Hope you guys are having a great weekend!! This is birthday weekend for one of my little ladies so things are a bit crazy around here. Not too crazy to sneak in this post though:-)

I showed you guys the beginning of my kitchen sign in my last post. Here is how I finished it up...

After distressing all my letters my sign looked a bit like this.

I then took an 80 grit sanding block to all my edges like this.

Once I finished that, I added a line of dark walnut stain around the raw edges and wiped off my excess with an old cloth. It's a perfect touch to make it look just a bit older.

My final step was adding a sawtooth hanger to the back of the board and putting it on the wall.

What do you think??

Hope you like it! It was a great piece to break up that big blank space I think. We will start this month's Shanty Silhouette sale on the 21st. I will be back before then to show you a great new product. Thanks so much for stopping by!!
